Ep283. First of Her Kind & The Chest Riding Nightmare Demon

Nephew/lovers, hunting for wine, and afterlife career goals! Emily tells the story of Ann Bilansky, the first and last woman executed in Minnesota for murdering her husband- but did she? Kelley explores the origins of our nightmares, wining about the Slavik Mara, entities that love fucking up your sleep.

Ep282. Death Row Granny & Bitter Well Ghost

It's the spookiest time of the year and the ladies have two terrifying tales that aren't even close to being as horrifying as our present day circumstances. Kelley tells the story of Velma Barfield, who had a nasty habit of doing an arsenic. Then, Emily tells the legend of Okiku, a dishwasher who took her job so seriously, that it brought her back from the grave (that and a super traumatic death) along with Okiku the haunted doll who lives a better life than most people. Go to therapy and NEVER buy your sister a doll because we're wining about herstory!

Ep281. Madam on the Mall & The Italian Bride

Girl bosses? Check. Overbearing mothers? Check. Politicians getting into sexy shenanigans? You betcha! Emily returns to Congressional Cemetery to pay her respects to one of its most (in)famous interns, Mary Ann Hall. From humble beginnings, Mary Ann worked her way up to be one of the most successful business women in Washington D.C. Servicing politicians, socialites, and the elite just blocks away from the nation's capitol, Mary Ann was making bank. The only problem was, her business was illegal. Kelley tells the terrifyingly true story of Julia Buccola Petta, a young Italian immigrant who tragically died during child birth. But when her body was exhumed years later, what onlookers found was truly shocking. Beware of freshly poured patios and take control of your life (or don't) because we're wining about herstory!

Ep280. Barrel Hooping Beasley & Fell Into Place

First, Kelley wines about Maria E. Beasley, an inventor who revolutionized the barrel industry (without access to barrelsdirect.com)! She went on to make inventions that touched many lives, including those on the Titanic. Then, Emily wines about Betty Lou Oliver who had the most unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on how you look at it) last day of work imaginable, but lived to tell the tale. Don't overdo the barrel decor and beware wolf puppy stench, because we're wining about herstory!
